Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hasan was asked that a person gave another three thousand dirhams as mudarabah, he boarded a boat and it broke, so two thousand were lost and one thousand remained. That person traded with the one thousand and earned some profit. So how will they divide the profit now? He replied: Until the amount becomes three thousand, they will not divide it; after that, the profit will be divided.

Hasan says that the capital of Mudarabah is one thousand dirhams, and the profit will be distributed in the manner that they have stipulated in the condition.

It was said to Hazrat Hakam bin Uteibah? He said: If he returns to his companion and finds out that he has suffered a loss in the wealth, he said: Then go and act upon what remains, so when the profit reaches five thousand, then distribute it. If this is not the case, then tell him that a man's capital is ten thousand, and whatever is in excess of that, distribute it.

Ibrahim, regarding the mudarib, says that the profit is that upon which they agree, and the loss will be upon the capital. And if they distribute the profit, then the loss will be upon the principal amount, and if they do not distribute it, then the profit will be returned to the principal amount.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin was asked about mudarabah: when there is profit, then loss, then profit, then loss? He replied that the calculation will be on the principal amount first, unless both of them had already taken possession of the wealth before that, or else the calculation will be with possession.

Hazrat Abu Qalabah says that both of them remain on the original partnership until they both settle the accounts.

Hazrat Qatadah says that the mudarib was given the mudarabah capital on half share, then he gave it to another on half share? It was said that the second will get half, and the owner of the capital will also get half. Hazrat Abu Hashim said that the second will get half, and whatever remains will be for the owner of the capital and the intermediary.
